A group of us had the great pleasure of visiting the brewery last weekend. It's small, simple and no bells and whistles. That however, is the absolute beauty of it. It is a great tribute to what Des and his crew have put together here and it's obviously a considered part of their approach. It's a proper craft brewery and it feels like artisans are at work. We've been to breweries and tours previously that just wanted to showcase and shower you with distraction. From the moment we arrived, Des greeted us with a taster, then tour and after that the lads did not want to leave. Became quickly the highlight of the weekend. Regardless of the sheer level of work and effort that has gone into the place, the atmosphere curated in Carlingford Brewery is first class, from the setting alongside the Mill House, wood fired pizzas (which were delicious and greatly compliment the beer) until we were full, good beer, to the comfortable fire and everything in between - the very warm and friendly atmosphere is highly recommended. Thanks very much Des, your hospitality was sincerely appreciated and see you again...
Read moreThe place is lovely for an evening out with friends or family. The food is also very good and tasty especially the pulled pork burger. The cocktails are amazing at this place I always order one. But the only downside of this place is the staff can be kind of rude and weird. The tables are very sticky and dirty well at least the ones outside. We asked to get ours cleaned and the waitress was weird about it and took forever to come clean it. The cloth she brought was already dirty and she barely wiped the table which left it still dirty and sticky. This isn't the first time this happened. The place is just not clean to a good standard, which is a huge minus for the place. The management should look into this matter to make the place more enjoyable. The live music at the place is a great idea but it's soo loud you cannot hear anyone talking and it actually just gives you a headache. You come to eat and chat maybe enjoy some music in the background but this music is blasting so loud you can't communicate...
Read moreCelebrating my nieces 30th birthday. We had such a lovely experience. From the start staff so welcoming and accommodating as we had elderly parents so they made sure we had a nice table. Our table was booked for 11 people but end up with two extra, this was no problem , extra seats added with no fuss. Drinks came promptly ( cocktails, wine , Ale and fizz drinks ) and our food ordered taken with ease. Couple of people shared food which staff had no issue with. Once our food arrived everyone tucked in. Not one complaint and that was a group of 13 , age range 17-80. Staff were very attentive making sure all was good. Once table cleared they brought out the birthday cake we had brought with us and sang to the birthday girl. A tea/ coffee order was taken and knife and plates given to share some cake. It is a beautiful place and great value as well. The Atmosphere was lovely . Staff very friendly , we all had a great afternoon. Highly recommend and will...
